It is very interesting to me how triggering this little thought is to a certain subset of people. They don’t just want us to be targets of their hate, they expect us to mourn their ringleaders, and my reminder that we don’t have to is very upsetting to them. They’re delusional bullies, and the smallest act of resistance threatens them deeply. I enjoy that.

@fraying@xoxo.zone @awoodsnet@phpc.social No obligation, no… but be the change you want to see in the world.

@fraying@xoxo.zone Sorry for shitting up your thread below, but this collaborationist coward has pissed me off. You designed Blogger? That's amazing! Thank you very much for that!

@fraying@xoxo.zone This is an understandable sentiment. But I'm slowly learning that we have a duty to moderate reactions on an open web. It's something we all struggle with because the times change faster than a human mind can comprehend.

@fraying@xoxo.zone Thank you! I need these gentle reminders dropping in my feed. While I certainly don't and won't condone or encourage assassinations of anyone, I'm not sorry the awful man who spewed hatred and promoted violence for a living is no longer alive. Though I do think a cocaine overdose would have been more fitting, then we wouldn't have to deal with being shamed and gaslit for not lauding him as a free speech martyr or noble contributor to society. He did nothing but harm.

@fraying@xoxo.zone exactly. If someone breaks the social contract, there is no reason why the other party should honour it.

@fraying@xoxo.zone Nor is anyone under any obligation to "think of their family". That particular individual was surrounded by friends and family that did nothing to counter or temper his abhorrent opinions but in fact benefited from his grift. They were not hostages in his life but active participants

@fraying@xoxo.zone When Jörg Haider died in that car crash that he, himself caused by driving way too fast and way too drunk, I said: Pity he died, but it's great that we'll never see him in public again. Pretty much having the same feeling again now.
